Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yuan-Ti" data-source="post: 211987" data-attributes="member: 4483">My copy FINALLY arrived today. It was shipped on Monday, so I was really expecting it yesterday, but okay. A quick overview of the contents: 1. The colored maps inside the front and back covers are exactly like the map in the Gazeteer (though obviously not as big) with the major exception that they have a lot more cities and locations placed on them, which is nice for those who have long wondered exactly where in Vesh the capitol is...2. 24 pages of history, which a skimming reveals to add a bit more flavor and detail to the history provided in the Gazeteer. In particular, there is a lot about the major empires which once flourished across Ghelspad, so we know more about where ruins are likely to be located and what those ruins might be like. 3. 10 pages on the gods, doesn't seem to be anything new, but there shouldn't be since there is a god book out (Divine and Defeated)4. 75 pages on the nations of the continent, including some maps of various cities (not terribly detailed but 100% better than no maps at all!)5. 60 pages on the city-states of Ghelspad. Four of them also have city maps -- again, not very detailed. 6. 40 pages on "important locations", mainly major geographical features and areas (the forests, the deserts, etc.)7. 8 pages on "other places of note" which are minor terrain features; the thinking here was apparently to give us just enough to know a little bit about these features, making them excellent for adventure hooks which a DM can use to fit his/her needs. 8. Prestige Classes: Aerial Cavalier, Brother of the Scarred Hand, Forgemaster, Gold Knight, Iron Knight, Keeper of the Eternal Flame, Knight of the Morning Sky, Renewer.9. A two page black and white copy of the color map, perfect for photocopying. Thank you Sword&Sorcery!10. 6 pages of ads for other products...Looks great. Can't wait to read more of it in detail!</blockquote>
